It was meant to the list, as I had seen this question before with no
answer.

As I said, I used to use transparent Eterms, and something broke at some
point. I did assume there was something to hack, and I was wrong.

I did read the man page. Eterm --trans did not work. Esetroot crashes
e17. So at that point I assumed there was something wrong, and asked the
list. I must confess I did not say that I did read the manual and the
faq before posting, I had forgotten people always assume the opposite.
But you did provide some information in your answer though, which is "it
is supposed to work out of the box". Knowing that, I wiped and
completely rebuilt my Eterm configuration files and found the problem.

As for the other settings, I've been using them for quite a while. It
does make me feel good and superior to know that I have been unknowingly
"styling like cuddletech".

Thank you for your help.

Alan
